Join to apply for the Senior Developer role at Hymans Robertson

Location: Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom

Hymans Robertson Personal Wealth is expanding its digital capability with two key roles to deliver a series of innovative projects on our roadmap. These projects will transform how we engage with clients, streamline advice processes, and embed technology—including AI—into our day‑to‑day operations to create smarter, more personalised experiences.

We’re looking for people who are passionate about technology and keen to apply their skills in real‑world scenarios. While AI and automation will be important, you’ll also work on other client‑facing initiatives, which requires strong full‑stack development experience and a desire to work with data on the Microsoft platform. We invest in the latest technologies to deliver business solutions. Our teams are collaborative and agile, and we offer the opportunity to work with cutting‑edge tools and approaches.

We’re seeking senior developers based in our Glasgow office to help design, build, deliver, and run world‑class digital solutions. In this role, you will:

• Work alongside high‑performing, highly skilled, multi‑disciplinary teams. We operate a Dev Ops culture that promotes team autonomy and engineering excellence, using the latest technologies.
• Drive innovation and increase the maturity of our frameworks, integrations, and automations.
• Mentor, coach, and provide people management for less experienced team members.
• Design and implement systems across a range of programming environments and software platforms—primarily .NET and Microsoft Azure.
• Pragmatically and effectively assess trade‑offs and barriers that emerge in the delivery of any significant software system.
• Lead non‑functional improvement efforts (such as performance profiling).
• Work on meaningful problems—we provide complex challenges, at scale, in novel market areas.
• Be core to the delivery teams that build, test, and scale our applications and services.

Though this is a varied role, your key tasks will include:

• Building secure, scalable services and APIs on Azure using .NET (C#/.NET, .NET Core).
• Developing client‑facing features and UIs using Angular, Type Script, NgRx, and RxJS.
• Creating and maintaining RESTful APIs, microservices, and solutions that use CQRS patterns.
• Applying object‑oriented design principles and test‑driven development practices.
• Working with large datasets (including PII) across storage platforms such as MS SQL Server, Azure Data Lake Gen2, Blob Storage, and Snowflake.
• Integrating and optimising Azure services (e.g., Blob Storage, App Services, Application Insights).
• Using Git and Azure Dev Ops to enable CI/CD, feature flags, and safe rollback via YAML pipelines.
• Implementing messaging patterns and brokers (e.g., Azure Service Bus).
• Applying behaviour‑driven test approaches and frameworks (e.g., NUnit, Fake It Easy , Spec Flow).
• Delivering practical AI capabilities with Azure OpenAI Service and Azure AI Studio—including prompt design, safety guardrails, and human‑in‑the‑loop review.
• Building RAG solutions with Azure Cognitive Search (semantic + vector search) and .NET APIs for secure, auditable client workflows.
• Setting up robust evaluation, telemetry, and release management for AI features using Application Insights and Azure Dev Ops.

Strong Expertise In One Or Both Of The Following

• Back‑end development: C# .NET, .NET Core, Microsoft Azure, RESTful APIs, Microservices, CQRS.
• Front‑end development:
  Angular, Type Script, NgRx, RxJS.

You Will Also Likely Have Experience With

• Object‑oriented development patterns, delivering solutions in C# .NET, and familiarity with other technologies such as Python (for AI assets), SQL (for data), and Type Script (for user interfaces).
• Test‑driven development and behaviour‑driven approaches.
• The Microsoft development stack and Azure Cloud technologies, including:
  • SQL Server/Transact‑SQL
  • Azure portal and resources (Blob Storage, App Services, Application Insights)
  • Service‑oriented architectures
  • RESTful APIs and microservices
  • CQRS
  • Testing frameworks such as NUnit, Fake It Easy , Spec Flow
  • Git & Azure Dev Ops
